Never close any doors to any new technique or style :confused: , if you do you will never carry an original sound you will end up having this copycat sound. Learn it then change it to whatever you feel like, slow then fast etc. Sweep picking is one of the most challenging techiniques :mad: cause you have both hand and eye coordination and perfect execution. :eek: When I started learning it was challenging, but just take it slow then rip it up. Check out Benoit Nadeu's sweeping excercise it's on guitartricks.com it's called sweep picking 1 (yngwie malmsteen) or check www.ultimate-guitar.com under the video forums for sweep lessons well good luck !
